The Nets (17-40) (4-25 V) have dropped seven of ten including four of their last five on the road. Deron Williams is expected to make his Nets debut tonight after they traded him for Devin Harris, rookie Derrick Favors, and two first-round draft picks. "Very rarely are you able to trade for someone who is arguably the best at his position," Nets coach Avery Johnson said. "We had to give up a lot, but when you get a chance to get him, you go for it. It wasn't a planned trade. The Nets will focus on Williams helping them avoid a fourth straight loss in their first game since the All-Star break. Williams averaged a career-high 21.3 points with 9.7 assists for the Jazz this season. Coach Johnson hopes Williams can pay immediate dividends for the Nets, who have averaged 80.3 points during an eight-game skid in San Antonio dating to a 92-86 win there Jan. 22, 2002. Williams has averaged 20.0 points his last six games at San Antonio and scored a season-high 39 against the Spurs in Utah on Jan. 26.
